While obviously requiring real-world ID verification will reduce privacy, is there really any actual privacy left on today's internet? Every company from your ISP to Google to ever…

Many parents don’t have the technical aptitude to set the controls up properly. I am a software engineer and I find it challenging to keep up with the nuances of parental control s…

I think he means "eyeware is next" in the sense that it's the industry he'll be covering next. Pretty much every brand and every layer of the eyewear industry has been owned by Lux…

They really picked a strange set of claims to ask people about. - For the protein one, it's too general of a question. Some plant proteins aren't complete proteins while others are…

When you own a lot of books physical storage becomes an issue. I had to stop buying physical books because I have nowhere to put them.

UPDATE: Solar was 37.6, not 27.7. I'm not quite sure where I got the incorrect number from. The corrected total is 121.93, which is indeed greater than the 120 for natural gas. I a…

You are right, I read 37 as 27. I will update my parent comment.

I don't think this article did the math right. In the linked source from the article ( https://ember-energy.org/data/electricity-data-explorer/?ent... ), in 03/2026 combined genera…

They are increasing, but the level is still lower than it's been since Oct 2020. In my experience at two different companies since 2020, hiring more or less stopped sometime in 202…

This has mirrored what I've seen in my company. People in the data science/ML part of the company are super excited about AI and are always giving presentations on it and evangeliz…

Every engineer in a given department knows who the good and bad managers are. If you don't care about your engineers' development, you won't be able to keep good engineers on your …

I've been an engineering manager for 9 years and I've always understood that a big part of my job is career development for people on my team. An EM's role is to hire, retain, and …

Vanity sizing is huge for men also. I have a 36" waist and I'm generally a 33 waist in most brands. Oddly, dress shirts tend to be spot on.

The problem is that Congress has delegated a lot of its traditional law making power to the Executive Branch. Laws are written in vague ways with executive agencies given liberty t…

It's a fair question to ask "who are independent executive agency heads accountable to" in a constitutional context. It is true that the Executive Branch has grown far beyond what …

I work at a company trying very hard to incorporate AI into pretty much everything we do. The people pushing it tend to have little understanding of the technology, while the more …

When I'm hiring an engineer, HR will easily let me bump up the offer by $10-20K if the candidate counters. It is nearly impossible to get that same $10-20K bump for an existing eng…

There is some truth to this, but I think this way of thinking is overly simplistic. From a material standpoint, any job that can provide for you and your family's needs is "meaning…

About 10 years ago I worked for Fortune 500 company that had outsourced a bunch of its technical work to offshore contractors. New CEO and CTO came in and got rid of all the contra…

I think the first set of quotes are from people trying to sell something, while the second set are based on real data and people who have actually worked with AI. I'm a engineering…

Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests the entire executive power to the President, so technically it is the President who is responsible for following and implementing the laws…

I would add that no one has shown any solid business benefit or productivity gain due to AI despite there being massive incentives for someone to do so. We've tried to use AI for m…

I'm not saying this isn't part of the problem, but my experience has been different. When I was in my 20s, my friends and I all lived in apartments and had parties fairly often. I …

This kind of thing heavily depends on your doctor and insurance plan. A lot of plans won't cover things like ED meds, weight loss, or hormone therapy. TBH I'm not entirely sure tha…
